Malang News and Photos

The Arema Indonesia Official Site launched on May 2nd, 2010. The management of Arema Indonesia developed it to make Arema Indonesia able to communicate more intensively with its Malang ’s Aremania, Arema Indonesia big fans. It was not a coincidence that the official site was launched at the celebration of Hari Pendidikan Nasional ( Indonesian National Education Celebration Day) When you visit Arema Indonesia Official site , you will be presented with the logo of Arema Indonesia – the head of a lion - and of course some useful links. There are five links on its landing page, Arema, Musim (Season), Tim (Team), Klub (Club), and Aremania. Hopefully, in the near future this official site of Arema Indonesia will be the most comprehensive site to get any information about Arema Indonesia and Aremania. www.aremafc.com Share this post :

It’s been a long time since the last time I posted something really personal on this Malang Photos blog . Since I’m trying to posts more information about Malang , like hotel s, guest house , phone lists, flight to Malang, and other things that do not really come from me. This time, I post this picture, a man who was taking seeds to the paddy field . It was my wife who took this picture. She is really a good partner for me in taking pictures on the street, since I ride the motor cycle. Her old SE K510i worked fine here. If you live here in Indonesia, you’ll find this scene pretty easy. Although it is now those beautiful paddy field has been turned into houses and factories. Hope that ten years from now, I will still be able to see this kind of beautiful scenes – hopefully ….

Malang held the Malang Tempo Doeloe 2010 successfully, despite of some comments from visitors who said that this 2010 Tempo Doeloe was not as big as the 2009’s.

Congratulation to the committee and of course beloved Aremania. Here are some photos from the Malang Tempo Doeloe 2010,     Actually I have many other Malang Tempo Doeloe 2010 photos on my netbook , but I don’t think it is appropriate to put it here. Many of them are showing that I’m just too narciss, hehe … Those pictures above are in 360x270 pixels only due to the very slow internet connection I have. It will take more than 30 minutes to upload them. If you want to download the original ones, follow this link: download Malang Tempo Doeloe 2010 Photos .

The sign itself is placed on the car’s or motor cycle’s Police License Plate. Arema Malang has just won the ISL (Indonesian Super League) – the biggest Indonesian foot ball achievement on May 29, 2010. This is of course celebrated by the Arema’s fans. And you do understand that, that kind of celebration will take some sacrifices. “ The “L” is Forbidden To Come To Malang ” is one of the sacrifices that must be taken by all cars and motor cycles from Surabaya which want to visit Malang . Polresta Malang, as the Police Authorities in Malang, issued a warning to all vehicles from Surabaya not to come to Malang at least until the celebration finished.
